This, the last Artesia Coffee House of the season, will be happening again in the Doris Crowston Gallery of the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt, on Friday, May 9th at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:45pm. Tickets are $20, available from Eventbrite, the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre (Wed-Sun, noon-4pm) or at the door. Delectable treats and beverages will be on offer, with donations graciously accepted. The beautiful grand piano will be making an appearance being played in the opening set by young musicians, 15-year-old Taho Shinagawa playing classical selections, and 17-yr old Daniel Claudepierre with songs of his own arrangements plus some new compositions. Next up is a Saxophone Quartet formed in 2024 based on the theory if one is great then four must be fantastic! This melodic and sometimes excitable group is comprised of Graham Ord, Karen Graves, Ken Grunenberg, and Jack Davis. After a brief intermission, Michael Gurney, local promoter of the local art scene and public speaker, will be reading some of his original poetry. To close the night and a powerful way to end the 2025 Artesia season will be the soul-baring voice of Kiki Connelly and the Understory with Anna Lumiere on grand piano and James Meger on upright bass offering gorgeous soul and R&B tunes. A big thank you to all our 2025 musicians, volunteers, and audience for another amazing series of the Artesia Coffee House and we will see you again in the early months of 2026. Doors open at 6:45 pm, show at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20 and available for purchase in advance online via Eventbrite or in-person at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre during public gallery hours (Wed-Sun, 12-4pm, 5714 Medusa Street, Sechelt). Delicious treats and beverages will also be available, with donations kindly accepted. The Artesia Coffee House is presented by the Coast Cultural Alliance in partnership with the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. We look forward to seeing you for a night of live music, entertainment and community. Information Source: Sunshine Coast Arts Council | eventbrite

Spend 2 nights and 3 days relaxing and exploring and visiting the beaches and Hidden Grove Trails on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. to enhance your connection to mother earth. Rejuvenate, reset and re-energize yourself with Cynthia's mindset shifting techniques that help you see clearly and feel confident on your journey to manifest all that you align. Get clear on your vision so you can see what's in the way and what to do next. With a welcome ceremony and intention setting plan laid out we are free to take advantage of the cosy space for healing sessions or venture out for a walk to one of our nearby beaches. Choose from a menu with soups, snacks and healthy meals included so you don't have to worry about a thing. You are surrounded by towering cedar and fir trees with all the flora and fauna that comes with it. We are fortunate to see eagle and heron often overhead while other birds and wildlife come and go. Clear skies often mean sparkling stars and planets beyond what you may have seen before. Just a few steps from the end of our drive, you'll find 100 stairs to the beach. It's rustic and charming with red arbutus trees and ferns that come up to your waist. It's lush and earthy and helps you feel like you made it to where you want to be. This location is healing in itself and when you commit to doing this, you shift your mind to open and allow yourself to be. We will visit the ancient trees in Hidden Grove Trails and spend time listening to what comes when we sit and connect in forest meditation. Our healing sessions take you out of body to a place where you can release to feel light and free. Clarity results and your needs are identified. Cynthia guides you through a process to see what you're missing. It's a love love relationship that Cynthia has with manifesting life and she believes there are 5 key aspects that need to be understood to align with your vision: ENERGY, AWARENESS, RELEASE, BELIEF and VISION. She is here to help you open up to these aspects to align with the energy of what you wish to manifest.
